Lukeball,


It was Klaus who said that the engine would not run without a generator. Without any literature, I was forced to assume the unlikely existence of some sort of magneto.

I am well aware and versed of the theory and operation of simple automobile electronics. Which is why I answered the post. No, I would not like to own a 122.

The problem with the vehicle is likely a bad chassis ground which would explain all symptoms. That’s why I asked the poster to measure the voltage between the frame and the engine.
